Double Dare

SAVING THE FILM INDUSTRY ONE ACTRESS AT A TIME

A documentary portrait of two pioneering stuntwomen navigating systemic gender discrimination in Hollywood while pursuing recognition and respect in a physically demanding, male-dominated profession.

But finding roles -- and respect -- in a male-dominated field can prove more harrowing than dodging punches.
